Confirmed from Culver City Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Leisure space on 41+ acres for ball sports, picnics & grilling, plus a dog park & skateboard area.
What runners say about Culver City Park
“Great park it's clean well taken care of, good place for the kids.”
“Great views of the west side, Culver City, Santa Monica, and more, Hollywood, downtown on clear days.”
“It’s pretty big so you can always find a quiet spot for yourself even when there’s loads of people.”
“Culver City Park boasts a well-designed playground that’s perfect for kids of all ages.”
Popular place in the hilly part of the city, great for exercise, dog walking, city view. It has baseball pitches and the park is connected to Baldwin scenic overlook. It has a popular boneyard dog park that is popular, divided into two parts for small and big dogs.
There are a lot of outdoor activities to do at this uphill park. Many scenic parking spaces. I like walking up and downhill or hiking on trail that are drainage paths for rainy days, but on dry days, they're great for downhill cycling. Trail behind the little league baseball fields leads to Baldwin Hills Trail.
My friend and I go here almost everyday to either walk or journal. It’s pretty big so you can always find a quiet spot for yourself even when there’s loads of people. The sunsets are stunning!!!
A local park, but a very enjoyable park nonetheless. There is a children's playground and a picnic area, but what i enjoyed most is the trail going up to the upper parts of the park.
